From NV's forums:""A drop in performance with the game The Witcher 2 may be observed if the user has ever completed the NVIDIA 3D Vision Wizard, and persists even after disabling 3D Vision through the NVIDIA Control Panel. The apparent cause is that the game uses an incorrect API to check whether 3d stereo is activated with each frame. A workaround will be provided by NVIDIA through a future display driver update which will restore performance when 3D Vision is disabled. We are also working with The Witcher 2 game developers to resolve the root issue. Please check back for new driver release information."

*shrug*(the part about restoring performance when stereo is disabled is this driver release)

The performance issue was if you had ever run the Stereo 3D setup wizard, The Witcher 2 was pinging the wrong part of the driver to see if 3D was enabled which caused a massive slow down in performance. The solution was to disable the Stereo 3D service, or uninstall the Stereo Driver portion of the nvidia drivers.

There's still a bug that causes massive slow down in indoor portions of The Witcher 2 when running stereo.. that fix is coming later this month.

"Take a look at The Old Republic and how it's handling things. Party members have the ability to select a dialog option to advise the leader, but it's the party leader who makes the choice on exactly what to say."

That's incorrect. Everyone in the party chooses a response, then the game randomly picks who's to run with. You get the light / dark side points dependant on your choice no matter what, but the response is picked from the pool of choices at random.

I used to play a lot of flight sims in the old old days (I was there for F-15 Strike Eagle), but when it comes to an FPS I guess I'm thinking more in terms of what I want my hands to do.. I'm holding a gun, and I want to point it as fast as possible at the enemy (kinda also goes along with that that's where the mouse rests.. in my hand).

In a game like Arma though, I def want it to switch to inverted for piloting.. though I'm working on a beefier rig for Arma 2 and 3.. joystick for sure.

And Darks, if you shoot at the AI, even if you miss it seriously fucks up their aim. That's one of the Arma II strategies actually - fire at an enemy if you think you're pinned and they'll have a hard time hitting you so you can flee to better cover, or W/E.

Picked this up on the $5 sale myself, and I'll be getting the new one day 1 if possible. VERY well done game.. on top of everything else people described it's a very immersive game too. The mood, the music and the voice acting all gel together perfectly.

It's also (along with Metro 2033) one of the best game to try with 3D vision, as it's 3D Vision certified. You only need to turn off motion blur. Walking through mist and seeing it come out of the screen into your face is another really immersive element.*

What was that news article late last year that said Valve would have like 3(?) major announcements in the next year? Don't tell me Steam on PS3 and you can make youtube videos with Steam, or whatever they have going were 2 of those announcements?!
